i'm an aging techno-hippie, who doesn't care as much anymore about the height, width, or breadth of anything which doesn't either make peace or help people. I've learned the hard way that everything i do is vanity and that the best that i'll ever accomplish through my own strength amounts to nothing more than dirty rags. i spend my life trying to find pockets of illumination.
i'm currently working non profit thing called help for humans which is my effort to turn a simple desire to help people into a worldwide movement, using nothing but raw cunning and self aggrandizement.
I'm an anti-social, oversexed misfit who fits in well with computer geeks, trekkies, outdoorsy tree hugggers, grateful deadhead patchouli stinkers, pissed off lesbians, alaskan separatists, dark introverts, hopeless idealists, touchy, self-important musicians, wounded natives, jesus freaks, people with lots of tattoos and piercings, girls who don't shave their legs, rescue squad workers and non-violent protesters.
i'm an expert at self promotion, but not so good at creating wealth.
i like long walks on the beach, staring at the stars, driving with my lights off on the big island while being chased by the police, hot-wiring steam rollers in the dead of night, standing beside the top of the waterfall until my knees stop shaking so I can jump off, sneaking out on the bridge at night while it's under construction to take pictures, setting up the telescope and watching saturn all night, drinking wine, red or white, hopefully from a bottle with a cork, not a box, playing guitar badly, or goodly, depending on how i'm doing at any given moment, writing embarrassing songs, using free media coverage to change politics of government using their own rules, greed and machinery, learning more about everything a little at a time, wikipedia, walking in cemetaries at night or during the day, sneaking backstage, getting thrown out, then doing it again, taking pictures which move people, hearing / writing / playing music or fiction which touches people, planting things and watching them grow and prayer.i have a goofy family name which i didn't choose and which i'm divided about. i've wanted to change it for years but i'm also strangely attatched too it, and when people hear it, they never forget it.
i'm a romantic sentimentalist with a short tolerance for bullshit, but a sometimes manic way of stumbling into it.
i'm on a journey from a mentality of 'its comes from me' to 'im a conduit through which it flows.' hopefully 'it' is a good thing.
i believe that we're all just a breath away from eternity and i try to use my time in a way which recognizes that fact.
i believe that christ is the corner of the circle which is the trinity of god, made up of father, son and holy spirit. i live my life in the pursuit of understanding and interpreting this belief daily in my own life. I recognize the fact that your beliefs may differ from mine and i don't begrudge you that fact. The bible says that we should each work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.
I've been writing concert reviews and taking photos for The Chattanoogan for about a year and a half. I've been to two Bonnaroos,, The Echo Project, and lots of miscellaneous shows. I've co-written one article for Jambase.com.

I'm glad to be alive. I'm grateful for everything I have. I'm grateful for all of my fantastic friends and in lots of other ways. I feel blessed to have a job where I don't have to sit in a cubicle all day.
I'm just digging life and being grateful for everything.
I'm a musician and I write songs, play guitar (12 string) and sing Karaoke with gusto.
I love all kinds of music, it just has to move me. I have a music profile but I'm not telling you what it is..
